                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in BONSUR this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  And let's see, SUZIE fought HAYMAKER and gained 13 
points and contributed to CHURCH LADIES' 3-0-0.  HAYMAKER has lost to SUZIE, falling 
11 points, while helping make SENTINELS a 2-3-0 turn.  Due to hers absence and 
inability to defend the throne, CANDY CANE has lost the title of Duelmaster.  And not 
without some honor, BLUEBURN now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of BONSUR. 
Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters 
do dishes at The Dripping Blade until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  SENTINELS has cause to stand tall, as they were BONSUR's most 
avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And avoiding SENTINELS 
more than any other team we find CHURCH LADIES.  BONSUR, are we going to accept, or 
respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged warrior this turn was CHURCH LADIES' 
warrior MARY ANN.  More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.  
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in BONSUR again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

And the going away smash was worthy of a feast!  Sometimes the classics are the best.
I am off to the Isle, fare well Bonsur, and keep the smash flowing! -- Lord protector
Kronos Grimholt

Candy Cane -- Congratulations on a well earned throne.  It was an interesting fight.
I don't often get to use my defense and riposte like that.  Sadly, it was my attack
that failed me that time.  Gotta work on that. -- Blueburn

Mary Ann -- That was an interesting challenge.  I look forward to trying that again
sometime. -- Haymaker

Sarah Sundance -- The dance didn't work so well that time.  Perhaps it was overcast?
Now who can I defeat for #5? -- Blago the Axe

Mordant Deserter?  Shoulda stayed in Mordant. -- Cajetan

Suzie -- They teach you that in church?  Wow. -- Queenie
P.S.  I don't think that's allowed on the beach.

Kronos Grimholt -- And fare you well on your way to the Isle.  They tell me Amelia at
Dodge Bullets makes good smash. -- Saltilla

A Mastery of Kung-Fu isn't everything when it comes to getting along in the world.
There are other valuable skills. -- Little Venus

Venus -- Yeah, well, I wish you hadn't taught some of those to B.C. Li, Master of
Kung-Fu.  He whacked me a mean one. -- Palmetta Patty

Blago the Axe -- Er... your need was greater than mine? -- Sara Sundance

Blueburn -- Yes, well, it was only a LITTLE houseplant, you know.  An African violet,
and they're said to be delicate.  It was easy. -- Little Venus

Cajetan -- It isn't everyone who gets to avenge their own death on the return match.
Though I have heard of some who do it even more personally by returning from the Dead
Tourney to do it.  Makes you wonder why they bothered to die at all, doesn't it? --
Sara Sundance, who came out rather well in the conversion
